Downshifters are the antithesis of the acquisitive yuppies of the eighties. They believe that time is more important than money and that it is better to work less and be happy and fulfilled than be well paid for struggling with jobs that are stressful or unrewarding. Though it was heralded as "a new Renaissance philosophy" by the Trends Research Institute in New York, which is credited with inventing the term in 1994, the idea is far from new and, for example, echoes the Gandhian "voluntary simplicity" of the 1930s. To downshift means to cut out unnecessary expenditure and cultivate a simpler lifestyle with time to do more of the things one wants to do, but not go to the extremes of dropping out of society or attempting self-sufficiency.  1, record 1, English, - downshifter

La croissance en berne, certains s'en réjouissent. On les appelle les «objecteurs de croissance». Une famille étonnamment hétéroclite dont les membres, âgés de 20 à 60 ans, ont en commun de rejeter la société de consommation, la publicité à outrance «qui dicte les envies», l'individualisme, la course au profit, la déshumanisation du lien social. Depuis deux ans, en France, la tribu recrute de nouveaux adeptes chez les alter, les écologistes, les déçus de la gauche et d'autres qui se disent «apolitiques».  2, record 1, French, - objecteur%20de%20croissance

DOWNSHIFTING: In the 1980s there were fast-trackers. In 1991 they will be "downshifters," who reinvent success by shunning career-track jobs with good promotion prospects for jobs that allow more flexible hours and more time for family and community.

Voluntary simplicity. ... Choosing to earn and buy less - to give up income and fast-track success for more free time and less stress involves a quiet personal revolt against dominant culture of getting and spending. This summer, pollsters announced ... [that 28% of] Americans said they had downshifted and had voluntarily cut back on their income in some way to reflect changes in priority. Many of the downshifters were parents who had cut their consumption to reduce working hours, thereby gaining time with their children.  1, record 3, English, - downshifter
